Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand all the paperwork? 📚🧑‍⚖️

PSA: Don't forget that paid family leave is taxable income! Set some aside or you might be in for a nasty surprise come tax season 💸

Anyone else feel like theyre gonna snap? I'm so close to just showing up at the office and refusing to leave until someone helps me lol

Pro tip: if you're calling, use the Spanish line even if you don't speak Spanish. Wait times are usually shorter and most agents speak English too. Just don't abuse it if you're fluent in Spanish!

The whole system is a joke. They're probably sitting on a mountain of backlogged claims laughing at us peasants 🤡

Hey OP, what kind of work were you doing before filing? Sometimes certain industries or job types can trigger additional review and slow things down.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my SSN wrong by one digit. Took forever to fix but keep pushing!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD. where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter 🤡

Have you tried faxing your application? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it gets processed faster that way.

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get paid for work we already did? the system is broken smh

Hey OP, any updates? Did you manage to get this sorted out?

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back in to ur EDD account can refresh things. worth a shot!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been stuck in EDD limbo for months. It's like they're playing games with our livelihoods. Anyone else feel like the system is designed to be this frustrating?

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about payment status updates: 1. Check your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you get any notifications. 2. Be patient. Processing times can vary widely depending on your claim type and current workload. 3. Make sure all your information is correct and up-to-date. Any discrepancies can cause delays. 4. If you haven't heard anything after 10 business days, try contacting them. Be prepared for long wait times. 5. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really struggling to get through on the phone. 6. Keep documenting everything. Save all communications and note down any calls or attempts to contact them. 7. Check if your state has an ombudsman or advocate office for unemployment issues. They can sometimes help push things along. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.

anyone else notice how the system always seems to 'glitch' right when its time to pay us? 🤔 seems sus af

Am I the only one who thinks its absolutely insane that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic help? The system is broken af 😤

lol watch them pick up immediately when you call to REPAY an overpayment 🙄 Funny how that works

Hey OP, congrats on the adoption! That's awesome. Sorry you're dealing with this bureaucratic nonsense tho. Hang in there!

have you tried threatning legal action? sometimes that lights a fire under there butts
